QCA9892 firmware crash (10.2.4.70.70) on Linux 6.0.1

Wed Feb 1 02:07:42 PST 2023

Hi,

After about one hour of operation (~6 scans/connects/disconnects), the 
chipset's firmware seems to have crashed. As the firmware used is >3y 
old, are there any updated versions available? How about the firmwares 
from Candela Technologies?
AFAIR, we didn't have these issues on Linux 5.12.

Regards,

Claudius

Software:
- Linux 6.0.1, from buildroot
- Firmware 10.2.4.70.70 from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware

Hardware:
- Compex WLE600VX mPCIe Module (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9892)
- PCengines APU2 (x86_64, 4 cores, 4GB RAM)
